PAT SHE'S NEPHEW,
FRANK HUGHES, WAS
BURIED HERE SUNDAY

The body of Frank Hughes, nephew of Pat Shea, was brought here Sunday from Mason City, and buried in the local cemetery.

Frank was the son of Mrs. Catherine Shea-Hughes, who was brought up in this county. He was about 28 years of age, and had been working on a farm near Whiting, Indiana. His death was caused from a broken neck, received when he fell from a silo on which he was working.

We were unable to learn the exact particulars, but the body was shipped from Whiting to Mason City, as that was his parent's former home, and was brought to Osage from that place.
